La Rue Verte offering UK’s first CIBTAC-accredited CBD cosmetology courses

La Rue Verte has announced it’s the UK’s first luxury CBD skincare line to be CIBTAC-accredited. La Rue Verte is the brainchild of Hashtag Organics - a company developing CBD-based products for the UK and international market.

Hashtag Organics’ training academy has introduced the newly-accredited CBD Facial and CBD Body Massage courses, both incorporating La Rue Verte luxury skincare. In light of recent events, the courses are now fully available through online distance learning.

Both treatments combine a variety of techniques with a systematic layered application process for a potent, results-driven experience. They also include guided meditations, claimed to deliver an improved state of both mental and physical wellbeing.

Emma O’Neil, company founder, said: “La Rue Verte is the result of three years of intense research and development in the CBD industry and we’re really excited to have developed it further through the treatments which are now on offer to the spa sector.”

La Rue Verte and its treatments debuted at Kimpton Blythswood, Scotland, with other spas soon to be announced.

The skincare range consists of seven products – serum, creme, lotion, body balm, tincture oil, face mask and bath bomb – and is claimed to feature the highest level of CBD per unit of any professional CBD spa skincare line in the UK.

Products are suitable for all skin types, with spa goods containing a five per cent strength formula, while retail products offer one per cent.

The line is entirely hemp-based, with over 99 per cent CBD purity, proven to enrich and enhance the body’s natural endocannabinoid system which is responsible for regulating bodily functions such as sleep, appetite, pain and stress.

The Virtual Retreat

In addition to the training announcement, La Rue Verte has also launched a virtual retreat for spa teams in response to the global pandemic.

According to the company, in order to look after clients, spas must first look to create time and peace of mind for the team. Thus, La Rue Verte recognised the prolonged stress that spa teams have been enduring and decided to launch a virtual retreat consisting of a series of pre-recorded meditations led by yoga and meditation specialists.

The team meditation is designed to engage the spirit and uplift each team member, by bringing focus to the surrounding work environment of the spa.

All materials are freely available to team members as a mixture of video and audio content and can be accessed at any time, with a choice of 45 or 60-minute sessions, for up to 100 members.
